Welcome To Lancaster Foundry Supply

ALpHASET - A no-bake foundry binder system utilizing new, unique technology developed and patented by Borden. Providing improvements to the foundry environment, this two-part, water soluble resin system allows the production of improved quality castings.
Advantages:

Low odor at mix station
Low chemical toxicity
Water Clean-up (uncured)
Use any sand
Excellent pattern release
Complete through-set

BETASET - The same breakthrough chemistry which has yielded ALpHASET was developed for cold box applications. Cured with a vaporized methyl formate gas. Beta Set achieves a fast cure and can be applied in a highly automated environment.
Advantages:

No or low nitrogen
No unpleasant odors
Good Core Storage
Good Shakeout in Aluminum
Potential for Reduced Emission Control
No Sulphur
Use Plant Air
Reduced Expansion Defects

The BETASET process has two distinct advantages over other existing organic cold box systems, specifically: environmental improvement and casting quality. The environmental improvement is due to the fact that the resin is water based and therefore does not have the odors of VOC issues associated with solvent based systems. The methyl formate curing agent, BETACURE 100, has no apparent unpleasant odor under normal conditions. This characteristic makes the BETASET process more acceptable to employees.

SIGMA CURE - A phenolic urethane cold box resin that is the best in the business when it comes to high core strengths, long mixed sand bench life, humidity resistance and release characteristics that can't be matched.

SIGMA SET - Borden's phenolic urethane no-bake system offers the same unique high performance chemistry featured in Sigma Sure cold box resins, but modified for no-bake operations. Sigma Set resins are patented, high performance, phenolic resins. Patented chemistry provides the highest hot strength available for this type of resin. Additional patented chemistry provides very low residual free formaldehyde with no sacrifice I either tensile strength or other performance characteristics.

SUPER SET - Furan and Phenolic acid cured no-bake resins. These are produced in a wide variety with variations in nitrogen, water and furfryl alcohol content sufficient to accommodate any casting application.
Advantages:

Low nitrogen, low water
Low free formaldehyde and zero phenol
Very low viscosity
High tensile strength
Exceptional sand reclaimability
No modifiers or extenders

SODIUM SILICATE - A full range of premium grade sodium silicate mold and core binders are available. These grades can be cured by CO2 gassing and/or ester no-bake type catalyzing. The various grades have characteristics for good collapsibility, mold making, ladle linings, and are suitable for all types of metal.
